Saving the top of the
cake for the first anniversary is traditional. Some recipes will stay
fresh longer well wrapped in the freezer for a year. For example, the
carrot cake and the chocolate buttermilk.

This big beautiful cake has three heart shaped wedding cakes and was created baked and
decorated for my sister and brother in law. Lori and Johns cake was a carrot with cream cheese filling topped with a very unique topper.
